Smoke and Mirrors from Sony and Microsoft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thinking-about-the-games dept.

An anonymous reader writes "History tells us: Don't believe what you're hearing about the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.There was a lot of hype last week about the next generation of game machines. Microsoft said the Xbox 360 will ultimately reach 1 billion consumers worldwide, while Sony gave a laundry list of features for the PlayStation 3, showing some jaw dropping footage along the way. (Nintendo promised a Revolution, but didn't go much further than that.) I hate to be a wet blanket, but it's time to come back to reality."

    If they are using OS X to develop with, the compiler they are using is probably GCC.

    Since GCC is under the GPL viral license, doesn't that make all of their new games public domain? Remember, this is what they have been claiming about the GPL.

    BTW: I'm just a lonely script.
